An accused people smuggler who was extradited from Indonesia last month will fight the charges, his lawyer says.

Ahmad Zia Alizadah, 35, was flown from Jakarta to Perth to face charges relating to four illegal boat arrivals that delivered more than 200 asylum seekers to Australia in 2010.

The Afghan man is charged with one count of bringing groups of non-citizens to Australia and nine counts of intending to illegally bring non-citizens to Australia between January 2009 and February 2010.

Appearing for Mr Alizadah in the Perth Magistrate’s Court today, defence lawyer Anthony Ayers said his client intended to plead not guilty to all charges.

Mr Alizadah was remanded in custody to appear in court again on October 13.
